Yes, they originated in the X-Men comics, which is generally 20th Century Fox's purview, but it appears there's more to it than that for the brother/sister duo, who went on to become Avengers in the comics. Instead, Feige reveals both 20th Century Fox and Marvel have legal access to Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch in their respective films, which is unique to these characters. That's right, Marvel could put them in an Avengers movie, while Fox could also separately put them in an X-Men movie if they so chose to. It's hard not to ponder the oddness if both franchises included them, possibly with different actors - and set in different eras!

Check out the video below from HeyUGuys.co.uk for the rights issue breakdown -- and a nice little bit on Edgar Wright's upcoming Ant-Man film -- as Feige explains why the two X-Men could be coming to both Marvel and 20th Century Fox.

The Avengers opens two weeks from today in the U.S.!
